Abstract: A thermoelectric system (10) includes a thermoelectric module (12) and volume defining manifolds (14) attached to opposed faces of the module (12). Fluid pumps (44) circulate fluid from remote heat exchangers (46) and through the manifolds (14). The module (12) provides opposing hot and cold faces with respective manifolds (14) attached thereto. The cold faces and manifolds (14) are connected to a first fluid pump (44) and heat exchanger (46), and the hot faces and manifolds (14) are connected to a second fluid pump (44) and heat exchanger (46). One manifolds (14) include an outer wall spaced from the module (12) and side walls abutting the respective faces thereby defining an open face wherein the side walls and outer wall and outer face define a volume for receiving fluid.
